> Thoughts on how to address compatibility from the 1.x slaves file?
At the very least we want clear error messages is the new file is not
found, which we have. Do not want users to waste a lot of time trying to
figure out why its not starting.
> Do we want to allow fall-back to ease upgrades?
-0. Would be slightly helpful in the case of automation. I think w/ the
error message about a missing tservers file, most users will quickly figure
out what they need to do. If we did do it may want to error in the case where
tservers and slaves file both exist. In case where only slaves files exist,
could print an error message saying its deprecated and should be renamed.
